Dzik, As In Dang Good

A successful hunting season filled our freezer with the most tremendous venison I’ve ever seen, and some beautiful elk shanks from a generous butcher.

As I’ve mentioned, when it comes to venison - Hank Shaw sure knows his stuff. I trust any of his recipe, and now can vouch for his Dzik, Yucatan Venison recipe.

Dzik is essentially a mashup of barbados, cochinta pibil and ceviche. You bite into a burst of differing textures and flavors - sweet, sour, salty, savory, spicy - and the dish just looks gorgeous. Check out more on his insta @huntgathercook, or just google Hank Shaw Yucatan Venison.
